"Tyler Warren did a wonderful job cleaning up our yard which was very overgrown. The work was done in a shorter time frame than he had promised and our yard looks like a different yard. We hope to continue to have him a couple of times a year to shape things up. We were exceptionally pleased with his professionalism."

"Jeff did a great job installing a rock creek bed in our backyard to fix an erosion problem and bringing in yards of dirt and mulch by individual wheel barrow loads to level a play area. Fair price, efficient, courteous and quality work. He's also "hands on" doing the work with his crew...which was great instead of some who show up in the morning, give instructions and then leave. Will be hiring him again for our next project"

"Attention to Detail You Can Feel The finishes were flawless, but it was the behind-the-scenes quality that really impressed us. Every wall is straight, every cabinet soft-closes perfectly, and every light is exactly where it should be. You can tell they care deeply about the details."

"David did a great job on my driveway, it was really messed up with concrete that was poured by another company and not smoothed out right. After David and his helper were through my driveway looked great!! I would recommend this company to anyone that needs any work that they specialize in. David is a good Christian man and a sweetheart, very nice and polite. His helper (sorry, I didn't get his name) is very nice and polite also. Thanks David for your help and if I need anything else done, I will give you a call."

"The gentleman was very respectful professional and knew exactly what I was talking about. He had my back yard done and draining properly in just a few hours. More than reasonable on the price. Will definitely pass his name around to anyone looking to have their yard leveled."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
